Justice in financial maintenance, not justice in treatment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, there is a husband who is just with his wife in financial maintenance, but he is not just with her in treatment,
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
There is a husband who is just with his wife in financial maintenance, but he is not just with her in treatment; he does not eat with her, and he does not speak to her,
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
He does not eat with her, and he does not speak to her. Does this husband fall under the hadith narrated by Abu Hurayrah?
The Shaykh:
If he neglects any of her rights, such as lodging, financial maintenance, clothing, or housing, then that is the one about whom the warning was issued. But if he provides her with these four things—divides his time with her, spends on her, clothes her, and houses her—then he has fulfilled what is obligatory upon him. Yes.
